Pigs align with humans from "summary" of Animal Farm by George Orwell
The pigs, with their superior intellect, gradually begin to align themselves with the humans on the neighboring farms. Despite their initial rebellion against human oppression, the pigs soon find themselves adopting the same oppressive tactics to maintain control over the other animals on Animal Farm. As the pigs gain more power and privilege, they start to resemble the humans they once despised. They move into the farmhouse, wear clothes, and even begin walking on their hind legs like humans. The other animals, who initially looked to the pigs as leaders, begin to realize that they are no different from the humans they overthrew. The pigs, led by Napoleon, use propaganda and manipulation to justify their actions and maintain control over the farm. They rewrite history, alter the commandments, and deceive the other animals to ensure their unquestioned authority. The once noble ideals of Animalism are corrupted by the pigs' desire for power and luxury. Through their alignment with the humans, the pigs betray the principles of equality and freedom that once united the animals in their struggle against oppression. The other animals, who toiled and sacrificed for the promise of a better life, are left disillusioned and oppressed by their new rulers. The pigs' alliance with the humans serves as a stark reminder of the corrupting influence of power and the fragility of revolution.
